His goal against Girona was nothing short of spectacular. Striking the ball with precision from outside the box, he sent it soaring into the top corner.

“You have to shoot. I was alone, I controlled the ball, I hit it well and it went in. I don’t know if it’s one of the best goals, it’s nice and special to have scored at home, at the Bernabeu, in front of the fans,” he added.

Modric’s influence on the pitch remains undeniable. His leadership, vision, and technical ability continue to be vital for Real Madrid as they push forward in their pursuit of success.
